How to get user display name in hook integrate_prepare_display_context?

November 19, 2014, 04:45:56 pm

I tried to add icon next to username for topic author in topic view, but I can't figure out how to get display name from $message.

There is $message['poster_name'] but it returns username (login). I can't use anything from $output array, because it's multiplied on every next message in topic.
Is there way to get display name without file edits?

I think you should really use $output and "remember" if you have already added it.
Something like:

Code: [Select]

static $added = false;

if ($added === false && $output['member']['id'] == $op_id)
{
    $output['member']['link'] = // add the image here (I think);
    $added = true;
}

The alternative, is a bit more "fancy"^[1]: you may hook integrate_action_display_before and there attach a non-permanent hook to integrate_member_context in order to add the image next to the name.

¹Though I find it rather cool and I may use it in my multi-badge addon.

Thanks, works great now

I'll post package later, maybe someone will find it useful

I tried to look for integrate_action_display_before but I couldn't find it anywhere

There are 7 "generic" calls that may trigger different hooks depending on the arguments:

Code: (ErrorContext.class.php) [Select]

'integrate_' . $this->_name . '_errors'

Code: (SiteDispatcher.class.php) [Select]

'integrate_action_' . $hook . '_before'
'integrate_action_' . $hook . '_after'

Code: (Action.class.php) [Select]

'integrate_sa_' . $this->_name

Code: (GenericList.class.php) [Select]

'integrate_list_' . $listOptions['id']

Code: (Menu.subs.php) [Select]

'integrate_' . $menuOptions['hook'] . '_areas'

Code: (Profile.subs.php) [Select]

'integrate_' . $hook . '_profile_fields'

these will need some special documentation...

BTW, if you use $db_show_debug = true; in your Settings.php, you can see all the hooks called in each page in the footer.
